Leading Age (formerly the American Association for Homes & Services for the Aging) has published a useful guide on their website: it’s a quick look at what social networking is, why you should use it to connect to others and share resources, what the various services do for organizations/individuals, and why one would prefer one service over another. It’s a quick read and will help young and old alike know the difference between a “Tweet” and a “Twit.”
Additionally, if you’re looking for resources to help you create a social media policy for your organization, check out the Social Media Governance webpage for some great examples of what other organizations are doing in the field of eldercare.
